Vegetarians ( and Vegans ) Thread!!!

I forgot to add that when you use an egg poacher, but a dab of butter or margarine in the little cups and let them melt over the water before you add the eggs.

Boiled eggs are a favourite of mine too. If your eggs are from the fridge, give them a few minutes to warm up as you heat the water. As the water comes to the boil, very slowly lower the eggs into it on a spoon or ladle. Some people boil them gently for four minutes but I prefer eight. If you boil them for ten minutes and put them in the fridge they are good sliced with an egg slicer on salad with mayonnaise.

Fried eggs should be cooked very slowly in vegetable oil. The example in the link below is cooked too long and the edges are crisp. If the white bubbles up, the oil is too hot.

Try also scrambled eggs, whisked in a saucepan over heat with butter and milk. Good on toast.

Omelettes are popular if you want to add boiled potato, bacon and other things. Try Spanish omelettes.

Google 'egg recipes' for more adventurous ideas.

On a different, non-egg note. . . anybody ever try chia seeds? They make a great puddingish kind of breakfast or dessert. Yes these are same seeds they use for making the chia pets.

They are supposed to be ancient Aztec superfood! LOL!

Anyway, mix 2 tablespoons of chia seeds which you can get in a health food store with 1 cup of any type of milk of your choice (almond, coconut, soy etc.) stir and let set for 20 minutes stirring occasionally. It will thicken up. Add cinnamon, raisins, dates, apples, whatever for fruit or nuts that you have handy. Delicious.
 
Hi everyone! My name is Rhea, I am vegan/vegetarian. I'm mainly vegan when I can be (at home or some places I know to eat around town) My 5 boys are pecatarian (with the exception of 1 who is pecatarian/vegan. LOL!) He won't eat any dairy or eggs...so I really don't know what to call him...LOL!! I have been Vegan/Vegetarian since this past may, and the boys since june.

We decided to bring chickens to our home because we wanted to know that the ones we had would be treated humanely. Also because we already know where our milk comes from, so why not the kids eggs??

Nice to Meet everyone!
